TOWARD EQUALITY & SOCIAL REFORMS
So today we will continue looking at the last three of five Presidents. I hope we can get to Nixon and Watergate today, but we may run out of time. Please remember that these foreign policy issues do not stop while the domestic issues are starting. Please take care of the laptops. This will be the last day the set of computers will be in the classroom. Take care of your research time please do not waste your time. Most students are cutting and gluing the project copies into the input pages of their notebooks. Talk to one another to ensure you can see any cool ideas that students are adding to the interactive notebooks.
11.10 Students analyze the development of federal civil rights and voting rights.
- Explain how demands of African Americans helped produce a stimulus for civil rights, including President Roosevelt's ban on racial discrimination in defense industries in 1941, and how African Americans' service in World War II produced a stimulus for President Truman's decision to end segregation in the armed forces in 1948.
- Examine and analyze the key events, policies, and court cases in the evolution of civil rights, including Dred Scott v. Sandford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education, Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, and California Proposition 209.

- Discuss the diffusion of the civil rights movement of African Americans from the churches of the rural South and the urban North, including the resistance to racial desegregation in Little Rock and Birmingham, and how the advances influenced the agendas, strategies, and effectiveness of the quests of American Indians, Asian Americans, and Hispanic Americans for civil rights and equal opportunities.
